The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1887-07-26

swer the question that has been per
picking Us all, native and foreign:
what are you going to do about lit"
TIE coming election is the most
important that has ever occurred on
the Islands. The principle has been
already thoroughly established that
the community on the Hawaiian Isl
ands viii not suffer corrupt govern
ment, and 1t now rests with the whole
voting power of the country TO com
plete the work which has been so well
commenced. The matter lies in the
hands of the people themselves, and
it is only by strictly united action that
they can attain what they all wish.
If class prejudice or the influence of
CLIQUE comes IN and is allowed to have
sway. the work which has been done
will 90 for naught. If we could unite
on the 50th of June, throwing aside
every personal prejudice, we can unite
in s similar manner on the day OF
election. This election will mean the
death-blow to corruption and fraud,
and the firm establishment of govern
ment for the people, by the people
We have been at some pains to show
TO all what are the qualifications for
voters and also for candidates, both
for the House of Mobiles and that of
REPRESENTATIVES. Let every man, who
has a right to vote, qualify himself
properly and make up his mind that
he has a duty to perform Tosit idly
by now, to hesitate, viii be g wrong
done, not only to the present genera
ton. but to those who have to fol
low US
The question of FORGETTING nation
atty by taking the oath to support the
new Constitution has been raised
We think it can be easily disposed Of
The oath required to be subscribed
by the old law for naturalization ran
as follows:
residing IN -, beng Only sworn, upon
his oath, declares that ne viii support the
Constitution and Laws Of the Hawaiian Isl
suis- and bear true allegiance 70 His Majesty
kal2kGu2, the King.
Subscribed and sworn 10 this day of
- 4. d. IS, before ule.
The oath under the present Consti-
tuition reads thus:
Il, agsd =. native OF -, re-
siding on - street. IN ward 10. -, in
the city and District Of Honolulu. do soiemnly
swear. IN the presence OF Almighty God, that
I vI1 support the Constitution OF the Hawai-
ian Kingdom, promulgated and proclaimed
on the 18th day Of July, 1857. and the laws Of
said Kingdom, not hereby reuO1ueIng, but
expressly rsseETIug al allegiance and citizen
ship now owing Or held By me-
4 man subscribing to this oath Ger
tainIy does not forfeit his allegiance
to his own sovereign or country, and
ne swears no allegiance to the soyer-
eign of Hawaii Putting the two
oaths side by side, it Is plain where
the difference between them lies:
An argument raised IN contempt
rary, that it Is absurd that man can
have vote IN two countries, can be
replied to by showing that such
state OF things already existed here.
Children OF American and English
parentage, born IN this country, when
of age, had the right to vote here, and
on return to their own country, have
been registered as voters there and
have voted There Is nothing anon
aIous IN the matter
